First there was Trans Gaule (race across France), then i put this sequel together for the Western States 100 Miler in the US, then it was off to run across Germany and then the oblivion of injuries from then onwards meant this blog just wouldn't die.
Now with a start in Badwater.com followed by another Trans Gaule this blog lives a little longer.

Trans Gaule 2008: Day 8: New course for me as we run 58k to Jussac as normal Aurillac hall unavailable. Rene runs 4:50:50 to further increase overall whilst i have a patchy day finishing 16th in 6:20:45 improving to 17th overall. One of those days wh

Have to admit i mustnt have the roadbook too thoroughly last night asdidnt realise till out there that we reached our highest point Col DeLegal (1231M) & in theory our coldest day, so otherwise would haveworn more than bike top & moeben sleeves. Interesting experience had aherd a herd of cows running with us(other side of fence) & soon had towork through another lot on the way to milking. Beautiful scenery(although worried at one point that rain had set in), but very patchyperformance i cant explain.

About Me

What started as a short term blog of my race across France in 2006, became a sequel in 2007 when i did an Ultra over in the US and then a race across Germany. Really wanted to finish this blog off then but injuries meant i should keep it going to give an idea of my comeback (as a man usually prefaced in running circles as "indestructible" no one believed i actually could have injuries and other issues to stop me). However now in 2008 with a race across Death Valley www.badwater.com and another, faster shot at the race across France, it looks like this blog won't die for a while, so enjoy the ride !.
